Future

When you meet a guy there should be a a little bubble on his head with what your future would be like with him.

Like a drug with side effects listed. #thatisall

Study Break/ My friends are married musings

I feel guilty when I'm not studying that's why it has been really difficult to blog lately... or for the past year. oops

We left the island, our old stomping grounds single and now we are back in the land of the free. Land of opportunities. Limitless opportunities including Opportunity to be married, to be in a relationship right? Wrong. Still single, still waiting to be found. The bad part about being found is 96% of my day is spent indoors. (We are in intense study Mode). I go to gym three times a week , come back home and stay put! I study at Starbucks once a week. So my opportunities to meet guys are limited to gym buffs and coffee lovers. not bad pickings. but nothing is happening. *sad face*

Man! this age is just terrible. Two of my friends from secondary school got married yesterday in Port Harcourt and another one next week. That's how bad the marriage wave is that my friends had to split their time between two weddings. The pressure just keeps slapping your face, especially with Facebook, Instagram, twitter and the blogging age.

I turn 26 on wednesday, and honestly i'm okay with where I am. (not married) . But i'll be lying if I didn't wish I was the one with the engagement photo sneak peaks and have people jealous of me and hating on my corny photos running around trees and reading books upside down. Can you tell how pained I am ... lol! Just kidding. The thing about social media is you find yourself being jealous about people you don't even know. When my friends tell me I am truly genuinely happy for them. From the one's that dated for 13 years to the one's that got married within a year. The positive thing in all this is i'm still scared of having babies so I really I'm okay on this side of the fence.

My sister got married at 31 and that's like super old by Nigerian standards. Every prayer request was directed at her "plight." And her "wait" was well worth it. Her husband is an amazing man and matches her in many important ways that it gives me hope to just keep being myself and living my life and I know everything will fall in place.

So yea just wanted to share that the struggle is real and it is live. It definitely makes dating complicated but that's for another day.
